My torches passed.

In the most recent Letter of Acceptances and Returns, my latest submission (changing my white torches with red and gold flames to simple gold torches) was accepted. The icon above shows the old and new versions of the badge (with some artistic license taken, using two different versions of Or, and the wrapped bands). A larger version appears here.

Of course, this is just one way to depict the torches. Another is to draw them thinner, with a wider flare at the top, much like a trumpet. Not that I'd ever do such a thing.....
